If you're looking for a night out on Saturday the 23rd, consider Chuffed, a night featuring several DJs playing an eclectic mix of music. The bar it takes place at, Selam, is located three blocks west of the U St Metro stop (green/yellow line, convenient from the convention center). No cover, no dresscode, and several of the people involved in throwing the party are librarians or have their MLS. :) More details are available here. Chuffed and Selam recently got some love from the Washington Post: Selam is getting into the groove.
